St. John's Church

We went to St. John's Church in Richmond, where
Patrick Henry gave his famous "Give me Liberty,
or give me death" speech in March of 1775.
These were the men that played Thomas Jefferson, George Washington,
and Payton Randolph. There were 11 men portrayed
during the reenactment. It was great to see
how the revolution against England started.
This church dates back to 1741 and is still
a active Episcopalian Church.
On the church grounds is this cemetery.
